On a pleasant morning, when most people would already be up and about, Da-eun was lazily lying under the kotatsu, doing nothing. Meanwhile, I was sprawled on the bed beside her, rolling around aimlessly. There was no reason to get up; Da-eun wasn’t bothering me today, so why should I?

Someone might call it laziness, but...

"Neeh~" Da-eun made an odd sound from under the kotatsu.

I was seriously contemplating the meaning of that noise when she suddenly rolled over, and, by coincidence, our eyes met directly.

"..."

Da-eun was staring at me intently, and when I tilted my head slightly in confusion, she opened her mouth, as if she had been waiting for it.

"Kana, do you know the saying that the pen is mightier than the sword?"
